Bethany Chime

Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on clear, respectful conversation and practical steps. She aims to meet people where they are and help them make manageable changes.

She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Bethany also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, and challenges linked to ADHD, addictions, and grief. Her work often touches on issues that come with caregiving, blended families, adoption and foster care, and separation or divorce.

Her style is direct and collaborative. Sessions center on the client’s goals and use a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She listens first, then helps identify patterns to change and small actions to try between meetings.

Bethany blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused strategies. She also offers EMDR as one option for processing distressing memories when appropriate. Together with each person she adapts the approach to fit the situation and comfort level.

People who reach out can expect practical conversation, attention to immediate needs, and step-by-step planning. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and helps with clear next steps to keep progress moving forward.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs straightforward support and a respectful space to talk.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses hands-on exercises and small experiments to shift patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, anger, mood changes, and coping with life transitions.

EMDR is a trauma-focused option that targets painful memories and the way they show up today. It can be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions or distress. EMDR is one possible tool Bethany may suggest alongside other approaches.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and any concerns and then suggest which methods to try first. That recommendation is revisited as needed so the plan fits the client’s progress and comfort.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try evidence-based methods like CBT or trauma-focused work from wherever they are located in Ohio or within the service area, while choosing the session rhythm that suits their schedule.
